FAQ's

Your password to access the mobile app is NOT the same as your password for the registration system.

If you are still experiencing issues, contact congress@opto.ca for assistance.

Click on the navigation menu, scroll to the bottom and select "Settings". You will be presented with your profile, and at the bottom are various settings which you can control.

Yes, the session selections you made during registration have been transferred into the mobile app so that you will have your own personalized calendar. Click on the "My calendar" button from within the Schedule page to see your selections. Your sessions will also appear with a bookmark icon when browsing through the schedule. Click on the bookmark icon for any session to add to your calendar.

Please note: because the two systems are not connected, any changes you make in the app will not be translated into the registration system and vice versa. However, session selections are for space planning only and selection within the app or registration system does not guarantee a seat onsite. All sessions are seated on a first-come first-served basis during the conference.

The schedule is grouped by day, and shows all sessions in both the OD and OA streams as a default. To see everything in one particular stream, use the "Filters" button at the bottom of the screen and select which stream you want to see. You can also use filters to see in which language sessions are presented.
